Allele frequency calculator tool (all species) - grch37.ensembl.org

We have migrated the Allele Frequency Calculator tool from the 1000Genomes website to our grch37.ensembl.org site. This tool takes a VCF file and a matching sample panel file, and calculates allele frequencies for one or more 1000G populations for a defined chromosomal region.

VCF to PED convertor tool (all species) - grch37.ensembl.org

We have migrated the VCF to PED convertor tool from the 1000Genomes website to grch37.ensembl.org site. This tool allows users to parse a vcf file to create a linkage pedigree file (ped) and a marker information file, which together may be loaded into ld visualization tools like Haploview.
